Good to see them stick to fixing this. The original state of this game was pretty shameful. If this fix is as good as they say, I may take the plunge.
That's great because the Switch version sorely needed this. I might now considering purchasing the game if the price is right....
Even at $40 it’s worth it. It’s a beautiful game. The end made me cry.
$30 if you buy the digital version instead of the physical version.
Quick reminder for anybody super interested in the game, it's free on PS+ for a few more weeks! If you're on the fence, it could be worth checking out there first, and then buying it on Switch if you're a fan.
A lot more interested in the game now. Nice to see they're actually working on improving the game rather than letting a bad port rot in the pile of disappointing Nintendo ports.
Talking about bad optimisation of game at launch for Switch.
I have it on PS4 and it doesn't have any issues I can think of. The game is perfect!
Why is it locked at 30 on ps4??
That's good news.
If you enjoyed ICO or Journey, you will love this game!
I thought they said the performance was unfixable when it launched? In fact, didn't they specifically say not to expect a patch?
I'm glad they are apparently fixing it, but they initially implied they'd have to basically entirely recode it in order to improve it.
Finally, some performance fixes. Might actually buy the game now. Now if only Xenoblade would do the same thing.
Game is sooooo boring. No way to fix that.
